2000-06-17  Bruno Haible  <haible@clisp.cons.org>

	* xgetcwd.c (xgetcwd): If the required pathname length is smaller
	than 1024, return a memory chunk of least possible size, instead

	nor the comma operator in an if-expression.

2000-05-15  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	the definition of it to rpl_strftime also defined-away the system's
	declaration.

2000-04-15  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	Use `C' to denote so-called `contiguous' files, the same way
	that tar does.
	* filemode.c (S_ISCTG) [!S_ISCTG && S_IFCTG]: Define.

2000-03-28  Bruno Haible  <haible@clisp.cons.org>

2000-01-31  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* nanosleep.h (nanosleep): Guard declaration with

2000-01-17  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* nanosleep.c (nanosleep):
	Don't use SA_INTERRUPT to decide whether to call sigaction, as
	POSIX.1 doesn't require SA_INTERRUPT and some systems
	(e.g. Solaris 7) don't define it.  Use SA_NOCLDSTOP instead;
	it's been part of POSIX.1 since day 1 (in 1988).

2000-01-17  Jim Meyering  <meyering@lucent.com>

	* interlock: Remove unused file.  Reported by François Pinard.
